About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in his grocery cart—an old, dusty bottle of pickle brine with no label and an oddly familiar scent. Curious neighbors started finding similar bottles around the store and on the parking lot. Soon enough, the whole town was buzzing about the mystery pickle juice. A delivery driver even claimed he saw a ghostly figure pushing a shopping cart filled with jars. The manager finally confessed: it was just their new supplier’s prank—a batch of labeled jars got mixed up with unmarked ones. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, Kroger became known for its ‘special’ pickles.
2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger’s loading dock with a truckload of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates of apples, he noticed one crate seemed heavier than usual. Curious, he opened it—and found himself staring at a crate filled entirely with oranges, except for one lone watermelon. Confused and amused, the delivery driver looked around but saw no one else nearby. He shrugged, picked up the watermelon, and decided to take it as his own little surprise. That evening, while slicing it for dinner, he discovered a handwritten note inside: ‘Happy shopping! –Your friendly neighborhood grocer.’
3. One day while shopping at Kroger, a regular overheard an argument between two bananas in the produce section. 'I’m definitely the better banana,' insisted one, 'look how much prettier I am!' Another banana retorted, ‘But I’ve got more potassium!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked by and muttered, ‘Man, these guys are loud today.’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Welcome to Kroger—banana debates happen here every other week.’
4. In the produce section one evening, a child pointed excitedly at a watermelon that seemed to be whispering softly to itself. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just an old watermelon with a dent in its skin, making it sound like it was talking. The kid’s mom laughed and said, ‘It’s probably just hungry,’ before putting it back on the shelf. Everyone had a good laugh, and life in Kroger went on as usual.
